These are my builds. They are open source and free. The source is at the 
same place as the binaries, as requested by the GPL.
However, that doesn't mean they're gratis. Please read GNUs "Selling 
Free Software" FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html if you 
want to understand the concept of free software.

My builds are only thought to be used with the GUI or if you know what 
you're doing. So you run into the error message.

BTW: The Linux builds are gratis, only the Windows builds cost since I 
spend a lot of time getting them running and fixing bugs.
